Getting My Coffee Fix in Daegu

Daegu is a city in the South East of South Korea. It is known for its intense heat during the summer and is surrounded by beautiful mountains. It is also a city brimming with small and boutique businesses, crowned as Korea’s coffee capital, Daegu is a city making Korean cafe culture proud. Having lived in Daegu for almost six months I’d like to share some of my favourite cafes.
